Biography: Lois Haygood Vines, 86, stepped over into the arms of God on September 22, 2006. Lois was born to Rubin Virgil and Jessie McDougald Haygood on February 2, 1920 in the Crossroads Community in Bradley County. Lois spent her youth and school days in Star City, Arkansas. She was beautiful inside and outside and was chosen as Miss Pink Tomato of Bradley County when she was in High School. Most of her adult years were spent in Little Rock where she raised her family with her husband, Marvin Vines, who was a radio and television personality and was the first inductee into the Arkansas Agricultural Hall of Fame. Lois was a devoted wife and mother to her five children. She loved her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, large extended family and treasured her many friends. Her faith was deep and Lois reflected God’s love to everyone she encountered. Lois was a lifelong Baptist. Although the family attended Pulaski Heights Baptist for a period of time, her membership and home church was Immanuel Baptist where Lois was a devoted member and volunteer for many years. In her later years she looked forward every Sunday to the Tele-Bible class at Immanuel. It has been said that everyone who ever met Lois fell in love with her. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. Lois is survived by her children and their spouses: Jim and Linda Vines of Little Rock, Tommye Lou and Don Davis of Waco, Texas, John and Elizabeth Vines of Germantown, Tennessee, Becky and Don Saulters of Memphis, Tennessee, and Sheila Elrod of Little Rock; her brother and sister-in-law, R. V. and Gwen Haygood, and sisters, Johnnie Mac Beyer, Ruth Meeks, Billie Jo White and Onita McFalls. She is survived by eleven beloved grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren as well as a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Visitation will be 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Monday at Ruebel Funeral Home. Memorial services will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday in the Chapel at Immanuel Baptist Church officiated by Rev. Dr. Rex M. Horne, Jr. Burial of ashes will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorials should be made in her memory to Immanuel Baptist Church, 501 N. Shackleford, Little Rock, 72211. Cremation and service arrangements are by Ruebel Funeral Home of Little Rock, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com.

On behalf of Dr Sauer and the staff of Hospice Home Care Inpatient Center, I would like to express how very sorry I am for your loss. From reading about Mrs. Vines, I can tell she was a wonderful lady. I would have loved to have known her much sooner in life. My thoughts and prayers follow you and your family that God will hold and comfort you.

To Becky, Don and the entire Vines family:

This family, Becky's Mom and Dad, and the rest of the kids in that household, were roll models as to what an American family was supposed to be. An incredibly positive influence on my growing up. I always figured "Leave it Beaver" was based upon their household.

Marvin doing the Ag report every morning @ 6am on AM radio and, Lois being the Game Warden on what went on around the house. The covered front porch, the swing, the feeling of love and family that was always present...that was the Vines house.

It was great... America can learn a lot from what this family was, and is, as we celebrate Mrs. Vines life.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire clan.

John, we prayed for you as a class on Sunday and I know from recent experience what it is like to lose a godly mother. John, your class loves you and we have missed your teaching.

I was so sad to learn of the passing of your lovely mother. Although I only knew Jim, Tommy Lou, and John, I know how proud she was of each of you. I know you will miss her but how fortunate you were to have her wisdom and love of life for so long. My thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

Tommye Lou,
I am truly sorry for your loss. After reading about your Mother, it sounds as if she left a wonderful mark on this world and will be greatly missed. I know she now continues to make her mark in heaven as one of God's angels watching over all of her loved ones now and forever.

Sincerely,
Kathy Weber

I didn't know Ms. Vines had passed away until reading the paper here at work Sunday night. I am so sorry you have lost her after such an ordeal she went through. Her picture is beautiful! She truly was a lovely lady and I wish I could have met her before all that happened to her.
I am glad I got to take care of her and meet all of you. I know you all loved her dearly and will miss her terribly. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sincerely,
Vanessa Shahan,RN AHH
